Friday's first practice for the Good Sam Club 500 Sprint Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway, is over, the top-6, slowest and any notes:
#16-Biffle 198.941
#99-Edwards 198.936
#5-Martin 198.545
#24-Gordon 198.384
#9-Ambrose 197.061

slowest: #97-Conway 167.284 & #35-Bodine 174.968
no speed: #77-Bell, #21-Bayne, #66-McDowell
Notes: this practice will determine the qualifying order for Saturday qualifying, scheduled for 12:15pm/et on SPEED. So the three cars that didn't run the 1st practice, will go out first in qualifying, by lowest in owners points, so #77-Bell goes out first then #66-McDowell and #21-Bayne.(10-21-2011)
